ROSIE O TO BABA WAWA: SCREW THE VIEW!

BARBARA WALTERS just loves inviting females she’s fired from “The View” to drop by for interviews, as STAR JONES did recently, and now she’s angling for prodigal ROSIE O’DONNELL – fired once by Barbara, and now by OPRAH WINFREY.

But Rosie turned Baba Wawa down flat!

“Rosie said she’d never heard ‘word one’ from her old boss when she could have used a ‘View’ plug for her new talk show.
